School is back in session, and I FINALLY get to enjoy another quiet calming breakfast by myself and…read morewhere is the first place I want to go? Le petit Paris of course! I tried the tomato soup for the first time today and it was divine!! Nice and hearty, not runny like most places. I also liked the arugula they put on top of the soup... gives it an interesting/different flavor and texture. Love! It took awhile 15+ min to get the food, but totally worth the wait.

Went here for a birthday brunch and i loved the vibes! If…read moreyou are going here to expect "service" there is none, you order your food and they bring it on you, thats it. No one checks on you. Food here is very affordable, and we paid right about 50$ for the 2 of us. We did tip when we paid upfront as we thought we were gonna set serviced at the table but that was not the case. The food was a 5/10. Not much flavor at all. Only thing we liked was the balsamic dressing, the side salad and the orange as a side, hehe. The espresso tasted burnt. The coconut latte did not taste like coconut at all. I had high expectations for this place but we did not like the food here. They had very nice interior designing, so it is good for pictures!

The barista, Dalma, makes the best cafe latte with love! The art on the walls are must sees. They are by local artists Amer and Elena. You should definitely stop by when you're in the area. It feels like home and the prices are unbeatable! Cheaper than gas stations.

Love their pastries, baguette sandwiches and coffee! Beautiful interior and great customer service…read more My favorite is Le Germain. It has prosciutto ham, mozzarella, green pesto, shaved Parmesan and arugula! Their baguette is perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, making every bite delicious!

And of course, they offer some of the best quality pastries in Jacksonville! Definitely a must visit local business!

If you haven't visited this location, you are sleeping on a fantastic animal rescue and child…read moreentertainment center. For the longest time I thought they were 'just a fish shop', but then realised they are also a rescue centre with a huge range of animals, from the adorable axolotl's to a giant albino python called Buttercup who is currently my child's favourite thing in the world, koi and turtle ponds, some lovely frogs, and host regular sensory friendly events. This is a wonderful place to introduce your child to a new wide range of creatures they would otherwise not have the opportunity to engage with. They also have an on-site café that apparently serves some of the greatest chicken nuggets in Jacksonville, and a small shop. The staff are knowledgeable and patient, the owner is a gem of a man, the facilities are clean and beautifully decorated, and if you're just here to look, it's a wonderful way to kill an hour. Just drop a little something in the tip box to show your appreciation.

After a recent lunch near the town center, we were looking for a good dessert spot. We basically…read moretried Light On The Sugar Bakery Cafe because of how close it was to where we were. What a lucky course of events! There is seating both inside and outside. The interior clean, bright, elegant and simple. The staff were friendly and we were served very quickly. The only wait was for the coffees ordered at my table. They were fantastic as well. I ordered the Tiramisu pie. Amazing texture, velvety layers, perfect flavor blend, bold, just the right amount of sweet...delicious. We'll be back to try more and if you haven't visited Light on The Sugar Bakery Cafe, I highly suggest you do.

My Key Lime Pie Puff was great although I would've loved a slightly more baked graham cracker crust. I also had a try of the Tiramisu cake slice and that could've been a bit HEAVIER on the sugar, if you know what I mean. Overall, I would absolutely pop in again.

I saw many delicious looking pastries in a glass container. The breakfast was delicious and it had a great sliced avocado on top. I also tried their Nicaragua coffee-WOW! That was very good and strong coffee. I noticed that there were some regulars coming and going. A large group of men gathered together at one table to have a bible study together. I loved seeing that. I noticed they had a wall of tee shirts and other things for sale. I loved the high ceilings. The decor was nice & cozy. They also had a shelf for pick up meals for drivers and call ins. Pros:they open early for early risers. Great coffee & food and plenty of parking. Cons:none Recommend:absolutely

The prices were reasonable too so I'll try some other items from them in the future.
